Answer:
Once starch reaches small intestine, it needs to be broken down into smaller units with the help of <u>hydrolysis reaction</u>. Pancreatic amylase catalyzes this reaction which ultimately breaks down glycosidic bonds present in starch molecule to produce simpler bio-molecules like maltose, dextrin etc.
Uses of carbohydrate in body:
(1) It is primary source of energy in the body;
(2) It is required by the body for storage of energy in the form of glycogen;
(3) In plants, it is required for building cellular structures like cellulose.
Explanation:
In order for starch to be digested in the intestine, it needs to be hydrolyzed with the help of pancreatic amylase. The hydrolysis reaction breaks the glycosidic bonds of starch molecule which is a polymer leading to the release of smaller molecules like dextrin, maltose etc. Maltose which is a disaccharide is further broken down into even smaller monomeric units like glucose with the help of enzyme known as maltase.
After conversion into monomeric unit i.e. glucose now it can be absorbed by the blood stream. The blood transports these small glucose molecules to all the cells of the body. After entering the cell, the glucose is used for the production of energy/ATP via cellular respiration.
During cellular respiration, the glucose is first converted into pyruvate via glycolysis. Pyruvate then enters PDH complex wherein it is oxidatively carboxylated into acetyl coenzyme A. The acetyl coenzyme A produced then enters TCA cycle and produce high energy molecules like NADH, FADH₂ and ATP. The NADH and FADH₂ then finally enter electron transport chain (ETC) so as to produce ATPs. These ATPs are then utilized by our body for our day to day activities.

Explanation:
The active trap in the Venus Flytrap ( dionaea muscipula )
The location that should have lowest oxygen concentration would be the tissue because it is the furthermost location.
Other location with lowest oxygen concentration should be in the right part of the heart. It is when all unoxygenated blood pooled before going to the lungs. But the left part of the heart will have highest oxygenated blood, so it's ambiguous.
High oxygen concentration should be found in the environment, lungs, and the blood.
